Donald Trump said he'd leave the White House if Joe Biden is officially confirmed as the new president of the United States by election vote.
The president has refused to accept defeat in the November 3rd elections. On Thursday, he has told reporters it would be difficult to accept defeat, repeating once again the position that there has been voter fraud in the elections.
Biden leads 306:232 in the election vote. The candidate needs 270 votes to win the election, while Beden is leading even in the popular vote with more than 6 million votes different from Trump.
The elected ones will be gathered next month to formalise the outcome, with Democrat Joe Biden expected to be sworn in as president on January 20th.
The president and his supporters have filed complaints about the elections, but most of them have been rejected.
Earlier this week, Trump officially admitted to launching power at the Biden team after weeks of uncertainty.
The “of course it is, and of course I will, and you know this”, has responded when asked whether he will agree to leave the White House if his loss is confirmed.
However, it has continued that “if they choose Beden, they make error”.
It will be difficult to accept defeat because we know there has been massive fraud”, he has continued, suggesting that he will accept defeat.
He comments on whether he will be present at the Biden inauguration.
Under the US electoral system, voters do not directly elect the new president. They vote for 538 officials, gathering from all American states based on the population number. The elected always vote almost for the candidate who has the most votes in their country, and it is almost impossible for the opposite to happen. Never happened.
